Americans Are Still Wary of Closing Schools on Muslim Holidays
Rasmussen Reoprt ^ | June 7, 2016 | Staff

Philadelphia is the latest major school system to add Muslim holidays to its official calendar, but Americans with school-age children still aren’t sure that’s such a good idea, although support's up from a year ago.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 50% of American Adults with children of elementary or secondary school age oppose adding major Muslim holidays to the public school calendar in their community. Thirty-three percent (33%) favor adding these holidays to the official school list. Seventeen percent (17%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording,

If my property taxes got to the expense of closing schools for Islam holidays....I will object to my Governor etc. Islam is NOT Tolerant of any other religions. Why should states pay to close schools and all the accoutrements i.e.,, school buses, nurses, teachers, guards etc. for a few Muslim students.

Bowing to Islam again so that nest of hornets won't get mad? This is how they take over the Infidels....eventually they will kill you for not 'believing in Mohammad' the false prophet.

....and Jesus wept.

send the dangerous invaders back to their ‘own’ countries!
ASAP

closing schools is the LEAST of our problem with letting Islamics into America

they are trained from birth to hate and invade and terrorize and conquer and subjugate infidels like us

they are the one and only significant dangerous cult on planet earth today, insofar as western Christian societies are concerned

OK, but don’t pay the teachers - then the 33% will drop to 5%.

The US is self destructing rapidly.

Americans are not “wary”. Those be weasel words.

Americans oppose the gutting of their Nation and culture due to the importation of primitive 3rd world dullards at the behest of the global elites in an attempt to destroy us as an entity.

Like blacks who have been weaponized, muslims are merely the gun. The elites are the hand holding the gun.

“Wary”?! The minute we accept muzzie holidays is the same minute we’ll get Koran 101 as mandatory.

Another camel’s nose under the tent scenario.

Just like the legalization of homosexual marriage.

Then essentially any religion can demand to have holidays. What about the poor Hindus in America? Sikhs? Baha’i?

And I’m sure you know that will never happen. It is worth saying though.

Patriots, beware of a double-standard with school holidays. These days many schools are nothing more than socialist indoctrination centers. So instead of being concerned about closing schools for Muslim holidays, communities should arguably be considering closing schools permanently and seeking other options.

And let’s face it. Many working parents are using school primarily as a babysitting service, a child’s education, if your child is actually getting educated, being a side-benefit.

Just realized it’s been at least a year or so since Big Media trotted out the “{Some large percentage} of Americans actually still erroneously believe Obama is a muslim”.

And now even the names have changed. Instead of Christmas break or Easter break, it’s Winter break and Spring break. We used to have Good Friday on my work calendar, but a couple of years ago it was changed to Spring Holiday.
